5.

A Drosophila female that is heterozygous for the white-eye gene is crossed with a white-eyed male. What percent of the progeny (male and female) will be white eyed? ___%
6.

A homozygous dominant plant for three genes (A, B, C) was crossed with a homozygous recessive plant for these genes. The F1 generation plants were then test crossed with homozygous recessive plants.
